Sobremesa

senior buyers won't answer your email. they'll accept a dinner invitation from their peers.

about.

We build lead-gen microevents for B2B startups, VCs and consultants — curated rooms of enterprise C-level, founders, and investors, in any city in the world.

leaders we've brought to the table

you already know events work. the problem is who shows up.

(01)

Cold outreach stalls at the top.

A VP at Google has 400 unread emails and zero reasons to reply to yours. The more senior the buyer, the worse your reply rate.

(02)

Booths buy you badges, not deals.

A $20K conference booth gets you ninety seconds with whoever walks past. You collect scans, your SDRs chase them for a quarter, and almost nothing converts.

(03)

Running your own event is a second job.

Weeks of venue calls, invite chasing, and no-show anxiety — and you still end up with a room half-filled by your own team and people who aren't your ICP.

built for teams whose buyers are too senior to reach any other way.

B2B infrastructure with 6-figure LTV

Payments, security, data, compliance, cloud, logistics tech. Large contracts, long buying committees, and a culture that already runs on relationships.

Deeptech, hardware, and industrial

Robotics, aerospace, semiconductors, advanced materials, industrial AI. Your buyers are VP Engineering and Head of Manufacturing at corporates who don't answer cold email.

Professional services and advisory

Boutique consulting, M&A advisory, wealth management, corporate law. Enormous deal sizes, entirely relationship-driven pipeline.

how we work.

you tell us who you want in the room. weeks later, they're at your event.

01

You brief us.

Titles, companies, industries, target account list if you have one. Twenty minutes on a call is enough.

02

We build the room around anchors

We secure 2–5 senior anchor guests first — recognized names and big brands in your industry, sourced from your network and ours — and pick a topic your ICP actually wants to spend an evening on. Those names go to you before anyone else is invited. Then we fill the rest of the room: our network, conference momentum, and targeted outreach. You approve every single seat.

03

You bring your team

Your founders and sales leads come as hosts. The anchors and the topic do the credibility work, so your team isn't pitching cold — they're being introduced inside a room your buyers already trust. Conversations that take five calls to earn happen over dinner.

04

You get the intelligence.

Enriched profiles and contacts for everyone in the room, what they said they're working on, and buying signals — in your CRM within 48 hours.

faq.

Four to six weeks for a curated dinner in most cities. Conference side events during peak weeks (Web Summit, Tech Week, TechCrunch Disrupt) need six to eight weeks because good venues and good guests are spoken for early.

Anywhere. We've built rooms in the US and Europe, and we source anchor guests locally in every market we work in.

Yes — you approve every seat, and you get the confirmed list at least one week out so your team can research and run pre-event outreach.

Yours. You're the host. We're invisible unless you want us introduced.

You get enriched profiles on every attendee, notes on what each one is working on, buying signals, and drafted follow-ups — within 48 hours, exported to your CRM.

We do handle the ops, but that's not the core thing — it doesn't matter how beautiful the catering is. We focus on business metrics. Our approach is bringing in top customers at your event: they come because their peers are already there, and because of that they trust you, and deal-closing rates are much higher. It's also easy to reach out and meet in person afterward. Most of the ICPs at your event will be new leads — but not cold, because of the format.

What you're paying for is the anchor relationships and the time it takes to build them — and the fact that the room converts differently because of how it was built. For the buyers we bring in, normal acquisition channels typically cost multiple times more per customer than what a curated room costs per qualified conversation. Most teams either can't reach these specific senior buyers through their usual channels, or spend more in time and headcount getting there than the event costs outright. We also offer a reduced upfront price + a fraction of CPA / deals signed after the event, for teams who'd rather pay on results than on delivery.
